Hardware Requirements

The table below details the minimum recommended hardware sets for Macula software. Please note that these specific processor models are given only as examples and are not compulsory: you can use different CPU provided that it has the same number of threads and its performance is analogous.

Calculations are given for two major configuration examples: all streams in D1 or FullHD resolution; of course, intermediate and mixed cases may also exist.

DDR4/DD5 RAM is strongly recommended!

• *Please refer to the list of Macula supported cameras for camera-side motion detector support

• **System must provide:

  • DirectX 10 support

  • Graphics card with at least 256MB memory

  • Latest graphics driver version

For workstations, onboard video memory should be at least 256MB per display, and the recommended minimum is 512MB per display.

For Video Analytics (VA): 1x physical core 3GHz+ and 1GB RAM per video channel. CPU must support AVX/AVX2.

For Macula Enterprise servers without any camera assignment (management only) you can use a stable but low-spec machine with high-speed OS medium with at least 4 cores (8 threads). Example: Intel i3-10320 with 16 GB DDR4 and NVMe SSD. Virtual machines are supported but make sure to allocate enough cores. If your Macula Enterprise server will assume any additional load (video channels, in the first place) and/or the number of simultaneous client connections is large (hundred or hundreds of connections), please consult with [e-mail] to get tips for your server hardware.
